You will hear a guide talking about the Sea Life Centre.
你將聽到一位導游介紹海洋生物中心。
First, you have some time to look at the questions 11 to 17.
首先,你有些時間看看第十一題至第十七題。
OK, so, hi everybody, and welcome to the Sea Life Centre.
大家好,歡迎來到海洋生物中心。
Before you start on your tour, I'd just like to give you some information about things to look out for as you go.
在你們的游覽開始之前,我想給你們講講游玩途中需要注意的一些事情。
Well, first of all, I guess some of you may have been here before and may be surprised to see the name has changed.
首先,我想,你們之中有些人可能以前也來過,大概會對我們改名了感到吃驚。
We are not called World of Water any more — since the beginning of this summer we've been renamed, and we've also made a few other changes.
我們不叫“水中世界”了,從今年夏天開始,我們改了名字,還有其它幾處變動。
However, the main attractions like the aquarium, the crocodiles, the penguins and so on are still here.
不論如何,主要的受歡迎項目,如水族館、鱷魚和企鵝等等還在。
But we have a new restaurant and picnic area and the latest thing that we have - and it was only finished last week - is the splash ride.
但我們開了一家新餐廳,也開辟了野餐區(qū)域,還有我們的最新項目,上周才完工的。
This is an exciting new area of the centre and is pretty scary and, of course, you do get a bit wet, so make sure you're not wearing your best clothes!
這個新區(qū)域很刺激,而且很可怕,當然了,你也會弄濕自己,所以確保你不是穿了最好的衣服來玩這個項目!
As I said, the main attractions are still here and the most popular thing that everyone wants to see is feeding time, especially for the crocodiles and the seals.
正如我所說,主要的熱點項目還在,最受歡迎的,大家都想看的是喂食時段,特別是給鱷魚和海豹喂食。
We used to have the main feeding time in the afternoon at around 3 pm, but we found that some of the animals got a bit hungry waiting until then and so we now have it at noon.
我們以前的主要喂食時段在下午三點左右,但我們發(fā)現(xiàn)一些動物在等待期間會感到很饑餓,所以我們現(xiàn)在在中午喂食。
They seem much happier with the new time, although it's a hit difficult to know what they're thinking!
動物們看起來對新的喂食時間更滿意,盡管要想知道它們在想什么可真是有些困難呢!
Now, I'd like to mention something new that we've introduced this year that we're very excited about. It's called a VIP ticket.
我想講講我們今年剛引入的新項目,我們對此感到興奮不已——貴賓票。
The VIP ticket costs an extra £2 per person and you will be amazed at what it allows you to do. With this you'll be allowed to feed the sharks.
每張貴賓票要貴2英鎊,你會對其權(quán)限感到吃驚。有了貴賓票,你就可以給鯊魚喂食了。
Now, I know that for some people this might be quite a frightening thing to do, but it is perfectly safe.
我明白,對于一些人來說,這件事挺可怕的,但這其實非常安全。
For those of you who are a bit unsure, we do have a video you can watch to see what happens.
對于心存保留的人,我們有一段視頻,你們可以看看到底會發(fā)生什么。
It's a great experience and your friends will be very impressed!
這是很棒的體驗,你的朋友們會大吃一驚的。
Speaking of friends, I'd just like to remind you that the Sea Life Centre will be more than happy to organise a birthday party for you and your family and friends.
說到朋友,我想提醒大家,海洋生物中心非常樂意為您和您的親友舉辦生日派對。
If you need more details, you can speak to me afterwards and there are also forms at the entrance that you can fill in.
如果你需要更多信息,你可以在結(jié)束后跟我聊聊,在入口處也有些表格,你可以填好。
I'd also like to bring your attention to the good work that the Sea Life Centre is doing in support of animal conservation.
我也想請各位注意一下海洋生物中心為支持動物保護而做的慈善行為。
